Foshan'S Exports Are Mixed.

After nearly two years of special rectification and "quality and safety year" activities, Foshan

Formaldehyde residue

Fabric exceeding the standard rate dropped to 0.5%

It is reported that in the first half of this year, the quality of Foshan's export clothing safety, hygiene and environmental protection technical indicators improved significantly.

The Foshan inspection and Quarantine Bureau has monitored and monitored the quality of knitted garments in recent two years, focusing on the detection of pH value, formaldehyde and fiber components.

According to the latest data from the inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the overall quality of the local export garment industry has been significantly improved, among which the number of unqualified batches has been decreasing year by year. The formaldehyde residue control of clothing fabrics has also been paid attention to by the industry. The exceeding standard rate has gradually decreased, and has dropped to 0.5% in May this year. However, the residual formaldehyde in hot stamping on clothing is 3.8%, which is 3.3 percentage points higher than that of cotton cloth.

In addition, as an important indicator to prevent commodity fraud, the fiber components which are also included in the key points of monitoring and quarantine are also included. Up to now, the situation which does not conform to the label and exceeds the requirements of the regulations has dropped to 1.3% from 10% in 2008.

Influenced by five factors

According to the introduction, the factors that affect the quality of local export clothing are mainly concentrated in five aspects: the price fluctuation of raw materials, while speeding up the profit and profit of garments, indirectly affects the integrity and the quality of textile printing and dyeing. The fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rate directly affects the profit margins of the garment enterprises, making most enterprises cautious about the long list.

In addition, the diversity of the industrial chain makes the quality control of every link, especially the quality control of outsourcing processing, become a headache for enterprises. The fluctuation of raw material cost, human resource cost, technology cost and environmental protection cost also compresses the profit space of enterprises, and makes the quality of medium and low price products difficult to surpass the link between cost and profit. At the same time, the quality of outsourcing process is not stable.

Focus of attention

Ecological requirements for safety design

A statistics released by the European Union in April showed that 17 of the 24 cases recalled by children and children's clothing due to safety hazards such as rope and belt were from China.

According to the Foshan inspection and Quarantine Bureau, this year's acceptance of export inspection reports, because of the long rope and the need for rework phenomenon also frequent.

The safety design of infant and young children's clothing has become a major focus of attention.

At the same time, according to the REACH directive of the European Union, toxic and harmful chemical residues on clothing are not only for pH value, free lead, but also for direct, dyestuff and partially disperse dyes such as antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium (6+), nickel, mercury and carcinogenic sensitization.

In a recent thematic training, the clothing manufacturers of Zhangcha knitted garment city and Huan Tong Tong garment city reflected that with the increasing awareness of ecological and environmental protection in various countries, the washing process and the potion of Foshan textile and garment enterprises are facing increasingly high demands for green pition.
